Benjamin Moore

Seaport Blue

2060-30

Seaport Blue is a saturated, medium-depth azure with an LRV of 16.13, placing it firmly in the darker portion of the spectrum. Its cool undertones are strongly blue with no significant green or violet drift. Because of its low reflectance, it absorbs light and works best when balanced with lighter surrounding surfaces.

Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace or White Dove provide sharp value contrast for trim and ceilings. Wythe Blue and Palladian Blue offer analogous but lighter alternatives, while Chelsea Gray grounds the palette with a warm neutral counterpoint.
